Waebulaniya 9
1 Su lipatanu lya kwanja liweriti na ntambu zyakuwi zya kuguwira na pahala pananagala pa pasipanu.
Now even the first Covenant had regulations for divine worship, and had also its sanctuary--a sanctuary belonging to this world.
2 Lipamanda linyawitwi vyumba viwili, mshumba sha kwanja paweriti na shombu sha kutulira vikoloboyi na paweriti shintambi na mabumunda yagatulitwi palongolu pa Mlungu, pahala palii pashemitwi Pahala Pananagala Nentu.
For a sacred tent was constructed--the outer one, in which were the lamp and the table and the presented loaves; and this is called the Holy place.
3 Pamberi pa lipaziya lya pili, paweriti na lipamanda lyalishemitwi Pananagala Nentu.
And behind the second veil was a sacred tent called the Holy of holies.
4 Amu muweriti na shitalawanda sha zahabu pakutumiziya ubani. Muweriti na lisanduku lya lipatanu, lyeni liweriti walityeremeka zahabu wega zoseri na mngati mwakuwi mweriti na shiwiga sha zahabu shashiweriti na shiboga shashishemitwi mana na luhonga lwa Aruni. Luhonga ali luweriti lutomola mahamba na muweriti na mabuwi ga lipatanu.
This had a censer of gold, and the ark of the Covenant lined with gold and completely covered with gold, and in it were a gold vase which held the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded and the tables of the Covenant.
5 Panani pa ali lisanduku paweriti na vinyagu vya viumbi viwili vyaviwera na mpapatiru zyaziwera na ukwisa wa Mlungu, na mpapatiru zyawu zigubikiriti pahala palii wantu pawalaviyiti tambiku zya kuwusiya vidoda. Hapeni tuwezi kuvitakulira vitwatira avi vyoseri ntambu yaviwera.
And above the ark were the Cherubim denoting God's glorious presence and overshadowing the Mercy-seat. But I cannot now speak about all these in detail.
6 Vitwatira avi vitendikiti, shakapanu iwera shitiba kwa watambika kwingira kila mala pashumba sha kwanja mulipamanda kutenda lihengu lyawu lya utambika.
These arrangements having long been completed, the priests, when conducting the divine services, continually enter the outer tent.
7 Kumbiti Mtambika Mkulu gweka yakuwi ndo yakingira mulipamanda lya pili na yomberi katenda hangu mala yimu kwa shinja na katola mwazi kamlavilira Mlungu kwajili yakuwi mweni na kwajili ya vidoda vya wantu, yawavitenditi pota kuvimana.
But into the second, the High Priest goes only on one day of the year, and goes alone, taking with him blood, which he offers on his own behalf and on account of the sins which the people have ignorantly committed.
8 Kulawirana na manyawiru aga Rohu Mnanagala kankufunda pota kufifa handa njira ya kwingira pahala pananagala nentu pa kumpindi hapeni kuvugulwi shipindi shoseri pahala pa lipamanda lya kwanja lyankali lyankugoloka.
And the lesson which the Holy Spirit teaches is this--that the way into the true Holy place is not yet open so long as the outer tent still remains in existence.
9 Shitwatira ashi ndo mfanu gwa shipindi shashiwera vinu, shilanguziya kuwera matambiku na malaviwu vilaviwa, kumbiti ziweza ndiri kuzitenda nfiru zya yawaguwira kuwera pota na likosa,
And this is a figure--for the time now present--answering to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, unable though they are to give complete freedom from sin to him who ministers.
10 vitwatira avi vyankuvitakulira viboga na vyakulanda na ntambu zivuwa za kupunga, goseri aga ndo malagaliru ga umuntu hera, na likakala lyakuwi lyoya shipindi Mlungu pakatula weri vintu vyoseri musyayi.
For their efficacy depends only on meats and drinks and various washings, ceremonies pertaining to the body and imposed until a time of reformation.
11 Kumbiti Kristu kawera Mtambika Mkulu gwa vitwatira vyaviwera viheri, vinu visoka kala. Yomberi kingiriti mulipamanda lyaliwera liherepa nentu na liwera nakaka, lyalinyawa ndiri kwa mawoku ga wantu, su liwera ndiri lya pasipanu papanyawitwi.
But Christ appeared as a High Priest of the blessings that are soon to come by means of the greater and more perfect Tent of worship, a tent which has not been built with hands--that is to say does not belong to this material creation--
12 Yomberi kingiriti Pahala Pananagala nentu kwa mala yimu, kingiriti ndiri na mwazi gwa mbuzi na ng'ombi kumbiti kingiriti na mwazi gwakuwi mweni, su katupanani ukombola wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
and once for all entered the Holy place, taking with Him not the blood of goats and calves, but His own blood, and thus procuring eternal redemption for us. (aiōnios g166)
13 Gambira mwazi gwa mbuzi na gwa ng'ombi na livu lya mwana gwa ng'ombi vyavimyatiritwi kwa yawaweriti wahumba na viwapunga womberi na kuzitenda nshimba zyawu ziherepi,
For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have contracted defilement make them holy so as to bring about ceremonial purity,
14 su mwazi gwa Kristu hagutendi vitwatira vikulu nentu! Kristu Mlopoziya kupitira likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala gwa mashaka goseri, kalilaviyiti mweni kaweri litambiku lya nakaka kwa Mlungu, su katupungi nfiru kulawa mumatendu yagafuwa, su tupati kumtendera Mlungu yakawera mkomu. (aiōnios g166)
how much more certainly shall the blood of Christ, who strengthened by the eternal Spirit offered Himself to God, free from blemish, purify your consciences from lifeless works for you to serve the ever-living God? (aiōnios g166)
15 Toziya ayi Kristu ndo mkolaniziya gwa lipatanu lya syayi. Su walii yawashemitwi na Mlungu wawanki uhala wa mashaka goseri waulagilitwi na Mlungu. Toziya kuhowa kwakuwi kuwakombola wantu kulawa mumakosa gawatenditi mulipatanu lyakwanja. (aiōnios g166)
And because of this He is the negotiator of a new Covenant, in order that, since a life has been given in atonement for the offences committed under the first Covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance which has been promised to them. (aiōnios g166)
16 Wosiya umanika hera handa kuhowa kwa ulii mweni yakaulembiti kumanika.
For where there is a legal 'will,' there must also be a death brought forward in evidence--the death of him who made it.
17 Wosiya wanja kutenda lihengu pakahowa kala ulii yakawulembiti, toziya uweza ndiri kuwera na makakala shipindi shilii sha ulii yakawulembiti pakawera kankali mkomu.
And a will is only of force in the case of a deceased person, being never of any avail so long as he who made it lives.
18 Ndo toziya ata lilii lipatanu lya kwanja litulitwi ndiri pota mwazi.
Accordingly we find that the first Covenant was not inaugurated without blood.
19 Musa pakawabweleriti wantu woseri malagaliru goseri ntambu yagaweriti Mumalagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti, katola mwazi gwa mwana gwa ng'ombi pamuhera na mashi, na kwa kutumiya mihamba ya miputira yawaishema husopu na pamba njeri, kashimyatira shintola shilii sha lilagaliru na wantu woseri.
For when Moses had proclaimed to all the people every commandment contained in the Law, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats and with them water, scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
20 Musa kalongiti, “Agu ndo mwazi gwa lipatanu, lyeni Mlungu kawalagiliriti mulijimiri.”
saying, "This is the blood which confirms the Covenant that God has made binding upon you."
21 Viraa virii Musa kamyatira mwazi lipamanda na vyombu vyakutendera mukumguwira Mlungu.
And in the same way he also sprinkled blood upon the Tent of worship and upon all the vessels used in the ministry.
22 Yina, kulawirana na lilagaliru vintu vyoseri wavipunga kwa mwazi, na pota kwitika kwa mwazi kwahera kulekeziwa vidoda.
Indeed we may almost say that in obedience to the Law everything is sprinkled with blood, and that apart from the outpouring of blood there is no remission of sins.
23 Vintu avi yaviwera mfanu hera kwa vintu vya kumpindi, vifiriziwitwi kupungwa kwa ntambu ayi, kumbiti vintu vya kumpindi vyeni vifiriziwitwi tambiku yaiherepa nentu kuliku ya aga.
It was needful therefore that the copies of the things in Heaven should be cleansed in this way, but that the heavenly things themselves should be cleansed with more costly sacrifices.
24 Toziya Kristu kingira ndiri pahala pananagala papanyawitwi kwa mawoku ga wantu, mfanu hera gwa shilii yashiwera shanakaka. Yomberi kingira kumpindi kweni, vinu kagoloka kulongolu kwa Mlungu kwajili ya twenga.
For not into a Holy place built by men's hands--a mere copy of the reality--did Christ enter, but He entered Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
25 Kingiriti ndiri kulilaviya mala kwa mala handa Mtambika mkulu ntambu yakingiriti Pahala Pananagala Nentu kila shinja na mwazi yaguweriti ndiri gwakuwi.
Nor did He enter for the purpose of many times offering Himself in sacrifice, just as the High Priest enters the Holy place, year after year, taking with him blood not his own.
26 Handa meiweri hangu, Kristu mekafiruwi kutabisiwa mala zivuwa kwanjira kwanja kwa pasipanu. Kumbiti vinu, mashaka aga gapakwegera upeleru, yomberi kalawira kwa mala yimu hera, kuwawusiya wantu vidoda kwa kulilaviya mweni tambiku. (aiōn g165)
In that case Christ would have needed to suffer many times, from the creation of the world onwards; but as a matter of fact He has appeared once for all, at the Close of the Ages, in order to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Muntu yoseri hakahowi mala yimu hera, shakapanu hakatozwi.
And since it is reserved for all mankind once to die, and afterwards to be judged;
28 Ntambu iraa ayi Kristu kalilaviyiti tambiku mala yimu hera kwajili ya kuwusiya vidoda vya wavuwa. Pakalawira kayi mala ya pili, hakizi ndiri kayi kutenda lihengu lya kuwusiya vidoda kumbiti hakizi kuwalopoziya walii yawamuhepelera.
so the Christ also, having been once offered in sacrifice in order that He might bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, separated from sin, to those who are eagerly expecting Him, to make their salvation complete.
